One of the many brilliant (that means “Democratic”) readers of this blog has offered what could be a spot-on analysis of Obama’s new strategy on health care. I share it with you in full:
“He has leaned back and relaxed and let Mitch McConnell and the screaming chorus shout and work themselves into a lather over imaginary provisions of plans he will never offer. After playing rope a dope like Ali and letting the congressional Republicans demonstrate their utter partisanship and unwillingness to join in any health care reform, he will now bring forward a reasonable plan that he will say was what he and Olympia Snow were working on together from the start. Then the Republicans who jump him will be clearly labeled as obstructionists. It may not work but it’s great strategy.”
